After several months of speculations and social media
banter, Sonia Morales, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor and model, IK
Ogbonna, has just announced the end of their marriage.
The couple got married in 2015 and together, they have a
son, Ace.
Announcing the end of their short lived marriage, Sonia took
to Instagram this morning to say, 'this is a hard letter to write as i am
pretty sure I will cry my way through this post. I know i should have said all
these a long time ago, but back then, i was just weak and could not think straight
because i was busy struggling to make things right the best possible way within
and even beyond my capacities'.
A friend of mine asked me the other day if I had written a
goodbye letter to my former life, my memories, my ex. When she brought the idea
up, I got immediate chills and a touch of anxiety.I wonder why that is.
I used to have a very different life. I had a husband and a
family. I had someone who lived here and i felt loved me full time. I had a
future I was counting on. A lifetime of companionship, family vacations,
milestones, laughter, and love but all to no avail as i felt deflated for many
years and now its all gone.
In the past, I have blogged about stuff as it comes up, but
no real goodbyes yet.
Many times i felt miserable on the inside and cried my life
out day and night in my room alone but as time went on, i outgrew the my
reality i was passing through the years.
I want to use this medium to thank my ex-husband for not
prolonging the hardship and now i have to face the world on my own. Our son
will forever be a representation of you in my life.. Thank you for the lessons
you taught me over the years. I wasn’t sure what to write, who to write to or
what my angle would be
But I know who I need to say goodbye to now with certainty.
Lastly, without hate or animosity, i look back at the past
five years and all i can do is thank you. Thank you for the good times, for the
hard times. Thank you for helping to shape the strong person I am today and for
being a part of my life for a small slice of time.
